Bernardo Silva faces limited roles at Madrid and Portugal

Overview

Bernardo Silva continues to face a difficult period at Real Madrid, struggling to secure regular playing time despite being a priority signing for manager José Mourinho. The 32-year-old has recorded only 282 minutes across six appearances, contributing one assist and no goals. This lack of involvement is attributed to intense competition in the midfield from players including Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, and Arda Güler.

Recent developments indicate a further decline in his involvement. After starting the first two La Liga matches against Espanyol and Real Sociedad, Silva has been relegated to a marginal role, reportedly playing only eight minutes for the club in the last month. Manager José Mourinho has specifically cited concerns regarding Silva’s physical condition and fitness levels during training, noting that “immediate improvement is required to regain a place in the rotation.” Despite these criticisms, Mourinho remains supportive, viewing the player as a vital asset once his conditioning returns.

This lack of involvement has extended to the international stage. Under new Portugal manager Jorge Jesus, Silva has seen minimal action, appearing only briefly as a substitute in matches against Wales and Norway, and was omitted entirely from the squad for the fixture against Denmark. His limited minutes have also continued in recent Nations League fixtures.

Due to his diminished role, Silva has attracted renewed interest from Juventus, which views him as a candidate to improve their midfield technical quality. Other potential suitors include AC Milan and Atlético de Madrid.
